Let us take a pause, assess fully, assess comprehensively, assess the impact that these data centers are having on our environment, on our utility bills, what it means to have them in communities,9

We don't need to take another step forward in this state until we fully understand what the impact will be on consumers and what the impact will be on people across Georgia,11
